Hey guys, just bought an 01 PY ITR which I will make a thread later with pics to introduce myself, but unfortunately the previous owner had lost track of the code and I was wondering what my options were? Ive tried calling the local stealerships and all they could tell me was to bring in the car so they can take out the heaunit and then charge me an insane amount to give me the code. Any suggestions other than to take out the HU myself and bring it to the dealer?

 

Pull the radio and write down the serial number. If you call the dealer and provide the serial number and your VIN, they should look up the radio code for you free of charge. If they don't, call a different dealer or ask a member here.

 

search... you can introduce yourself etc, but if u dont search u will get torn apart

but im not a dick and will help.

1 look around near glovebox area etc
2 owners manual books
3 take the unit out bring it to them and have them get u the code, it should be free if u take it out yourself, if not call acura corp

I did search...in the ITR forum. The previous owner made it pretty clear he didnt have it anyways. Ive looked all over the car and manuals etc. As I stated in the first post, I am well aware of the method of getting the serial # off of the HU to bring to the dealer. I was hoping for a easier, less troublesome method. I appreciate all the help guys...guess Im gonna have to pull the HU out.

same here

 

Thanks to everyone offering to help me get the code! I was too tired to take the HU out but I did look in the glovebox and I did see a sticker on the inside. It says 97A501571. Let me know if that works. There also a series of numbers etched in the glovebox as well. I can post that if the numbers above dont work out. Thanks again!

radio code is a 5 digit number.

did you check the ash tray?

 

yeah should look something like 12433, no digits higher than 6.

 

PM me your vin. I'll see what I can do.

 

^^ Where's the option to PM? I know the code is a five digit #. I thought what I gave out was the serial# of the HU?

 

i got your code and i pmed you it

 

Type-r#945 wins the contest of obtaining the radio code! I really appreciate everyone who helped here. ITR community rocks!

 

Type-r#945 do you think you can help me out. I got a 2002 Acura RSX and I need the radio code. My serial number is 15500240. Email is robinli_36@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance.
